Turquoise is the water

“The water is positively glowing, in the bright light of the sun, the colour totally clear, with a hint of, something like, turquoise” Gun Roswell

Turquoise is the water

The surface calm, nothing moving, not even the wind, causing any kind of ripples, keeping the liquid clear, with a hint of something cool, despite the warmth of the weather, causing the air to remain perfectly still, but the one hint of colour there, shining through even though the sun’s heated rays were trying to absorb all of it away. The turquoise was there to stay.

And even if the surface was sometimes about to break, do to someone taking starting in the water to bathe, the colour really never changed, staying the same shade of clear and turquoise as always, an eternal colour chosen because… well it all looked good, against the scenery and so after so much applause, it had remained that way and most likely would forever more.

“ There is blue, and then there is blue, the liquids of the pool, the ocean, all varying in their shade, and all I can do, is simply stare“ Gun Roswell

Turquoise and Blue

The pool waters beckoned for a dip into the calming waves, away from the hottest of suns, at least shining brightly for the day, much to the enjoyment of those worshippers fully on display.

The deep dive, will hopefully revive, all the heated up joints, skin and whatever the object of beaming light just might have touched, while in the hunger and greed took in too much of that which wasn’t really needed.

Then again, whom can blame, those wanting a moment in the warmth of the sun bask, as this kind of moment only a short while will last, and if the payment is some redness and a small rash, then all is well as long as moderation is something used as a guideline.

So, into the water, taking a dive, staying in the calming balm a tad longer, before finding some shade, as even if the sunny side is nice, taking in only some during each passing day is a must, despite the fact this kind of weather won’t last.

“The deep blues, the turquoise hues, the waters surface, cannot hide” Gun Roswell

Turquoise

Dive in, I know you want to do it! 

The blues beckoning on a warm day, so just, step in!

The water’s still rather cool, at least inside the pool

Don’t be a fool and miss the opportunity before afternoon

After the sun having heated the soothing liquid

So just be real quick about it and take the plunge

It’s almost time for lunch and a quick dive

Really cannot do any harm, simply pull out a smile

And give a feeling of total divine

At least for a while before the heat catches up again

“I have always wanted
a swimming pool
but never had one”
Joan Didion

Poolside

Eve

Night fall
By the pool
Watching
The setting sun
Just because
You can
The cool breeze
From the fan
The water dark
Will give you a spark
The last rays
Like fire
Waking
Your desire
To jump in
Oh heck
Just take a swim
Clothes torn aside
When swimming
Deep in the waters

“Haven’t you felt a peculiar sort of worry about the chair in your living room that no one sits in?”
Nicholson Baker

A Seat Poolside

Sitting by the turquoise liquid
Can be very addictive
No mere alcohol
Can make you fall
Like the blue waters
Without any borders
Sitting poolside
With a thin wall to divide

Poolside
It cannot be denied
You may be cool or a louse
But just get out of the house
And into the pool!

Poolside
It cannot be denied
The best seats in the house
So bring your friends and spouse

Sitting by the turquoise liquid
Can be very addictive
No mere alcohol
Can make you fall
Like the blue waters
Without any borders
Sitting poolside
With a thin wall to divide

Poetry, Day Eight: Pleasure

From the tantalizing to the satisfyingly sober, have your poem convey a sense of pleasure today. Imbue it with joy, glee, and profound contentment — or, if you wish to keep it dark, write about the lack of or longing for pleasure in your life.

“A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke” Groucho Marx

Pleasure Pool 

Turquoise, by the pool
Sunbathing, by the pool
Eating, by the pool
Toasting, by the pool
Grill fest, by the pool
Enjoying life, by the pool
